SUSPENSION-HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 359,718, dated March 22, 1887.

Application filed June 7, 1886. Serial No. 204,405. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM FLINT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphiaand State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Suspension Hooks for Toilet-Paper, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a means whereby a package of sheets of paper may be suspended upon one end to be separately detached at convenience; and it con sists of a metallic disk provided with a central orifice for suspension upon a projecting nail, pin, or hook, and having a stem of plate form curved upon one edge upon its periphery, extending at right angles to the face of the disk, of suificient length to receive and retain thereon a number or package of sheets of paper,which are separately detached from the mass when desired for use, as hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings, which make a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan or upper face View of my improved papen holder. Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations of the same taken at right angles to each other. Fig. 4 is a face view in connection with the retaining-pin C. Fig. 5 is an edge view of the pin (3 and the plate to which it is connected. Fig. 6 is an edge view of the holder in connection with the pin 0.

Like letters of reference in all the figures indicate the same parts,

A is my improved holder, constructed of sheet metal suflicicntly thick to maintain rigidity of its parts. It has the disk portion a, provided with the central orifice l), for suspension upon a hook or pin of a wall or cabinet for containing sanitary toilet-paper. Proj ecting at right angles from a point of the periphery of the disk is the stem (2, of narrow plate form, gradually tapering in a curve to nearly a point, e, at its upper end, which is for the purpose of receiving and retaining thereon, when forced over the point, a package or mass of sheets of paper, which may be detached successively by a slight downpull, when desired for use, either by hand or by the action of pressure by means of the rotation of a roughened-face roller w' him a cabinet operated by suitable mechanism. The stem (1 may have a knife-edge upon its edge i, if desired.

In practice I usually cut the holder by means of a die in a punching-press and bend the stem (Z into the desired position, or they may be formed of cast metal.

I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent The paper-holder herein described, consisting of the disk a, provided with a perforation,

b, and a prong, d, bent at right angles to the disk, said prong having a curved upper edge, e, and a straight lower edge, substantially as described.

WILLIAM FLINT.
